Course Overview
A supply chain is only as reliable as the least visible link inside construction sector procurement. Inventory tied up in this part of procurement and supply operations is capital the organisation cannot use elsewhere. The version of this strand of procurement and supply operations described in the manual and the version practised on the floor tend to diverge over time. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what construction sector procurement has actually achieved. Each session closes with a decision the participant must justify about the practice within procurement and supply operations in their own setting. The programme takes participants through this part of procurement and supply operations end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The level assumes working familiarity with the supply function but no prior formal training in construction sector procurement. Organisations that document this area of procurement and supply operations properly resolve disputes about it far more quickly. The programme ends where implementation begins, with the wider procurement and supply operations agenda broken into steps someone can start on Monday.
